I’m hoping someone can help me understand why I’m getting dinged on the daily races. I was working my way up thru the ranks. I only had 25% more to achieving my A rating. That was two weeks ago. Now last week every race I did dropped my DR didn’t matter if it was A, B, or C even if I finished two or more places from where I started. Granted some of those were due to attrition but it’s not my fault racers go off the track or quit I shouldn’t get dinged for that. My SR rating is always S I’m not the fastest guy on the track but I’m not the slowest either. I thought ok maybe it’s just the tracks last week (not my best) so I waited until today to try again and it’s still happening! I’m now down to 75% of A on my DR so I’m going to quit running the sport mode until I can figure out what I’m doing wrong. It’s very frustrating and definitely not fun. Any help or advice anyone can provide would be great. As an additional note no penalties! I try very hard to not exceed the track limits or run into the back of anyone. I may get 1 or 2 at the most but very rare. Usually they are exceeding track limit .005 penalty but that’s it. Thanks again for any help or advice.

Where you start is irrelevant. All that matters is where you finish.

As a rule of thumb, finishing in the top half of any given lobby should see your DR increase, but that's only an approximation.

What actually happens is you gain DR from the people you beat and lose it to those who beat you, but it's proportionate to the difference in the raw rating score between you. You'll gain more by beating players with more DR, and lose more by losing to players with less (and vice versa).

We have a very active thread on the Daily Races:

Thread 'GT7 Daily Race Discussion'

With the new game coming out today, which Daily Races will you do first? What will they be? What would you like to see done with the dailies in GT7? I can’t wait to see how PP’s shake up the Gr system, and the tuning. Happy GT7 day everyone!! 🍻
 
Are you quitting before race ends?, are you quitting when you see final positions before time is up?
These two things will make your DR drop.

No no rage quits here lol from what I’m reading I guess I’m just not finishing high enough in the field. Regardless of how many cars drop out. I try to be smooth and clean yet fast but it sounds like I need to be more aggressive. Thanks for the response

Ok so I guess trying to be smooth and clean is not getting me where I want to be, sounds like you think I should be more aggressive. Sorry for posting in the wrong thread. Not on here much.
